Fix Your Eyes

Fix your eyes on Christ, author of our faith

He will complete the work He has begun

He endured the cross scorning all its shame

So His Father’s perfect will  would be done

For the glory and the joy of the Father

And salvation for those who will believe 

He triumphed over evil, death and sin

In the second Adam faith is conceived

Fix your eyes, fix your eyes

Set your mind on things above

Fix your eyes, fix your eyes

Fix your eyes on the glories of this love

Fix your eyes on the glories of this love

So He is now exalted above all 

For our hope of Salvation Jesus died

The name above all names on Him bestowed

Now with eternal glory glorified

So have this mind in you as was in Christ

With Christ eternal joy we will bear

We persevere for He is our reward

So fix your eyes on Jesus, keep them there

Fix your eyes, fix your eyes

Set your mind on things above

Fix your eyes, fix your eyes

Fix your eyes on the glories of this love

Fix your eyes on the glories of this love

I Am Not Ashamed

The Gospel is salvation to all who will believe

For new life is eternal once it is received

For the redeemed are reconciled, faultless, without blame

And even if I suffer,  I am not ashamed…

Unapologetic, without compromise

Unafraid to look the lost and raging in the eyes

Unable to keep my peace, the word must be proclaimed

For it is the power of God and I am not ashamed

The cross must be offensive for it is soaked with blood

The flesh of God was cut off in a judgment like the flood

The lifeblood of the Son of God and grace has been outpoured

For the cleansing and forgiveness of the chosen of the Lord

Unapologetic, without compromise

Unafraid to look the lost and raging in the eyes

Unable to keep my peace, the word must be proclaimed

For it is the power of God and I am not ashamed

This Gospel is the power of God for salvation

For people from every tribe and nation

So we go into the world to see this Word proclaimed

For my Savior died and rose for me and I am not ashamed

1 Peter 4:16; Romans 1:16

Holy Jesus

Holy Jesus We adore You

We come before you with our praise

Glorious Jesus, Lord we praise you

Before your throne we stand amazed

Holy Jesus your work frees us

From all condemnation for our Sin

Oh dear Savior -We find favor

Here by grace through faith life begins

You are worthy-You are Holy

Come and take us to your side

Here in reverence-In your presence

Here in awe and joy we abide

Bridge

Lord Jesus we confess-

You are our holiness

You became sin For our sake

So the power of death to break

Now we become your righteousness

The great I Am became the Lamb

So now all our hope is in You alone

You forgave us -since you saved us

Your righteousness Is ours to own

Holy Jesus-Grace has seized us

All our righteousness is found in you

Holy savior-We are favored

Jesus You are faithful, you are true.   

You are worthy, You are Holy

Come and take us to your side

Here in reverence-In your presence

Here in awe and joy we abide

Providence

If holiness is my desire

I can expect trials by fire

There will sure come a test

If I would seek righteousness

If I long for holiness

If I hope for blessedness

Sure, the devil will attack

But I must never then turn back

For whatever  my Lord requires

He will provide a way

And each days’s provision

Is sufficient for that day

What I need He will supply

Though I may wonder how or why

He is able to provide

And on my sojourn He will guide

So I will trust in what he gave

For He is able to now to save

Unto the uttermost

In His promise I will boast

Though Satan would disburse distress

I will trust God’s faithfulness

He will perfect what He began

Though I cannot he surely can

For whatever  my Lord requires

He will provide a way

And each days’s provision

Is sufficient for that day

What I need He will supply

Though I may wonder how or why

He is able to provide

And on my sojourn He will guide

The Light of Christ

The Light of Christ dispels the darkness

As sin’s  deception it reveals

For sin is blacker than we imagine

For its true nature it conceals

The light of Christ shines forth in glory

It pierces through the darkened mind

And all it touches is enlightened

And by its grace truth is defined

Light of the world life dwells within you

Fill us clay vessels with your light

So may your radiance stun our senses

And in this darkness give us true sight

Oh Glorious light come shine upon us

Make us true lights as you’ve declared

Oh Light of Christ help us see clearly

For in your brilliance sin is stripped bare

Oh light of Christ drive out the shadows

Death’s Valleys illumine, set them aglow

Make bright our path we tread to Glory

Do this your glories now to show

Light of the world life dwells within you

Fill us clay vessels with your light

So may your radiance stun our senses

And in this darkness give us true sight

The Prize

There will come a time

When your time is upon you

Suddenly it comes and this story ends

Soon and very soon

Morning night or noon 

It will come dear friends

There will come a night

When the thief comes to take you

Take you to a place that transcends this earth

A Heaven or a Hell

Surely He can tell

What your life is worth

When that time does come

Faith and hope are done

They will be fulfilled

At the end of time

We will surely find

What our life will yield

Was our life in Christ

Or some other sacrifice?

It will be revealed…

There will be an hour that is coming so quickly 

A twinkling of an eye and this life is done

Either when we die

Or upward we will fly

And the prize is won

Ever to abide

Transformed glorified

In the Risen Son

There will be a day we may see a returning 

Coming back to take us to his side

Come to take us home

Never more to roam

His beloved bride

When the day is done

And the race is run

Jesus is the prize.

When that time will come

Faith and hope are done

They will be fulfilled

At the end of time

We will surely find

What our life will yield

Was our life in Christ

Or some other sacrifice?

It will be revealed…
